Our Dog Team consists of Brittany Spaniels and English Pointers; I think this mix covers all the bases in the pointing as both breeds bring different strengths to the table. On average the dogs 250 days in the field combined training and hunting, we spend a great amount of time on the Northern Plains, and then we migrate south to the desert and mountains of Arizona and the Southern Plains of Oklahoma.

Over past and during the present season(s) my dogs have pointed, Bob White Quail, Scaled Quail, Mearns Quail, Gamble’s Quail, Valley Quai, Chuckar Partridge, Gray Partridge; Sage Grouse, Sharptail Grouse, Ruffed Grouse, Spruce Grouse, Blue Grouse, Pinnated Grouse (lesser Prairie Chicken), Ringneck Pheasants, Snipe and a Wood Cock that strayed form its flight path and ended up in Western Oklahoma. We have also assisted Oklahoma State University conduct Bob White Quail research on The Selman Ranch under the tutelage of Dr. Fred Guthery, but that is another story!

Besides tacking up hundreds of thousands of miles we have blown two engines and three transmissions on two different Suburbans, worn out countless pairs of boots, made numerous trips to Vet. clinics across the West, no doubt we will continue to do so as we  search for the “Holy Grail” of upland bird hunting that is rumored to be located somewhere in Western North America.

Finally, our dogs are not just hunters; they are members of our family who bring a lot of joy to Lisa and myself.
